H1 Introduction

The task to confirm the preferred policy is split into two sub-tasks, as detailed below:

• Sensitivity testing. Identifies uncertainty in key variables and potential effects on preferred policy scenarios (see appendix E section 4.3).

• Economic viability assessment. Considers ratio of costs and benefits for preferred policy package.

This appendix reports on the economic viability task. The aim of this task is to confirm the economic viability of the preferred policy packages (PPs) by assessing the costs of flood and coastal risk management actions in relation to their economic benefits compared to a baseline of no active intervention. This involves a high-level assessment based on the approach prescribed by the Flood and Coastal Defence Project Appraisal Guidance. These policy packages have been developed for each policy development zone (PDZ). They are suites of policies for the three epochs of the SMP. They were then appraised in terms of how they perform against the defined criteria and principles (see appendices E and G). The CSG and EMF identified their preferred PPs for all PDZs based on the results of this appraisal and these have since been incorporated into the SMP. A number of the policies were then changed following public consultation. Economic viability has played a role throughout this process: it was included in the appraisal process when the draft SMP’s policies were fully assessed and reported in the draft SMP, confirming that the draft policies were viable but not by a wide margin. This appendix describes the viability of the final policies. The exact details of the preferred PPs are provided in the main SMP document, with further details in appendix E.

H2 Method

H2.1 Data sources

In line with the SMP guidance, this assessment uses the best available information about costs and benefits. If no information is available, a ‘high level assessment’ is applied, based on default defence cost data.

There is limited information for PDZ2D and PDZ3A in the existing reports listed below: • PDZ2D/2E: Brancaster West Marsh Engineers Report Final Draft

(Environment Agency 2000) • PDZ3A: Blakeney Freshes Project Appraisal Report (Halcrow 2002) For most other PDZs, default defence costs, as detailed in appendix C of the SMP guidance (Defra 2006), have been compared to approximate values of residential properties as provided by the National Properties Dataset (NPD). Where there were no residential property values, these properties were left out of the analysis (which adds to the conservatism of the result). In many situations commercial properties are only given an annual rental value rather than a capital value. The capital value is usually calculated from the rental value by applying the relevant yield factor. A yield of 5.5 per cent has been suggested as acceptable for miscellaneous unvalued properties (Halcrow 2005). This has been applied to obtain estimates for capital value of properties that are only given a rental value by the NPD. This gives the best estimate of the value of commercial properties without going into detail that is not appropriate for SMP-level assessments. The benefits calculated by the value of defended properties are only realised once the defences have reached the end of their useful life under a scenario of no active intervention. Using the analysis completed as part of the defence assessment task, an average residual life was obtained for each section of defence. The residual life for the defences of each PDZ has been taken as the lowest average residual life of all the defence elements in that PDZ. In certain places residual life has not been assessed, either because defence is provided by natural features (dunes or a shingle ridge), or there are no records in the defence database (quaysides at Wells and Blakeney). In these situations it has been assumed that the year 2020 is an adequate estimate of when the defence function of these features will fail. The economic viability assessment does not take into account the benefit of defences for agricultural land, or the cost of losing agricultural land to managed realignment. As the policies keep defending most of the better quality agricultural land in the area, at least in the first two epochs, this adds to the conservatism of the results. In general, the result of the assessment is conservative because it only includes benefits from protecting properties and does not include other benefits (risk to people, infrastructure, business, environment etc). This assumption needs to be taken into account in assessing whether the preferred policies are viable (see section H2.3). For all calculations, it has been assumed that epoch 1 will begin on 1 January 2009. Epoch 1 is therefore from 2009 to 2025, epoch 2 is from 2026 to 2055 and epoch 3 is from 2056 to 2105. All values have been discounted

back to the present day values using current guidance and an optimism bias of 60 per cent has been applied to all costs to reflect uncertainty (as suggested by the SMP guidance, appendix C). For PDZs where the preferred policy is no active intervention, and this is also the current management policy, no assessment has been made as there are no flood and coastal risk management costs associated with these options.

H2.2 Assumptions

Several assumptions have been made about maintaining and replacing defences and exactly when new defences will be built where they are needed as part of managed realignment policies. The assumptions on cost of the defences were based on appendix C of the SMP guidance and are shown in tables H2.1 and H2.2. Table H2.1: Estimated defence costs

As there is no information available about the age of the defences, assumptions were made where necessary about when they would need replacing. Appendix C (section C2.3) of the SMP guidance states that for linear defences full scheme reconstruction is needed every 100 years and for

Page 6: Appendix H Economic appraisal - EACG h - economic appraisal.pdf · North Norfolk SMP2 - H 4 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010 . groynes every 30 years (table

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 4 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

groynes every 30 years (table H2.1). So, for linear defences, it is assumed they are replaced in 2055 (the middle of the SMP period) as this gives the best estimate of the present value. Note that for those PDZs with a managed realignment policy for epoch 3 we have assumed that the existing defences are not replaced in 2055 as this would be only a few years before the realignment would take place. This means that the hold the line defence replacement is calculated with epoch 2’s low unit costs, while the new defence for the managed realignment option is calculated with the higher unit costs valid for epoch 3. In reality of course, construction costs will develop gradually. The inaccuracy introduced is considered acceptable as part of the broad-scale analysis, but it does emphasise the need for more accurate economic assessment of the conditional options beyond the SMP. For groynes it has been assumed that they are first replaced in 2024, 15 years into the SMP, and then every 30 years from then on for the same reason as with linear defences. For specific frontages, assumptions have been made about specific maintenance regimes and defences. These are outlined in the analysis of the individual PDZs. Several of the PDZs have uncertain or conditional policies for the later epochs. For those cases, the economic assessment has been carried out for both options.

H2.3 Viability and funding

For each PDZ with a calculated benefit cost ratio, the report draws a conclusion about the viability of the draft policy: viable, marginally viable or not viable. Generally speaking, the SMP uses the following bands:

• BCR higher than 2: clearly viable • BCR between 1 and 2: marginally viable • BCR under 1: not viable

All calculations were done through broad-scale analysis, which is typically conservative. It only takes into account the benefit of defences for properties, not for infrastructure, agricultural land or wider unquantifiable benefits related to tourism, habitat creation etc. Even if a policy is considered to be viable, this does not guarantee that it will be affordable and funded in the future.

H3 Analysis

This section outlines the results of the broad-scale economic assessment. The results are summarised in a set of tables at the back of this appendix. Table H1 gives a summary of the economic assessments carried out for each PDZ where there are defences. For the purposes of this broad-scale assessment, these policies are calculated to have no damage costs. Table

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 5 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

H3 shows the supporting information and table H5 details the calculation of the costs associated with maintaining and replacing defences. PDZ1A – Old Hunstanton dunes The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for epoch 1 with the intention to remove defences to allow the dune system to develop naturally in epochs 2 and 3, while maintaining flood defence to houses and infrastructure. It is uncertain whether and when there will be a need for defences. For the purpose of the analysis, however, it has been assumed that 1.3 kilometres of new defences would be needed at the end of epoch 2 to protect properties at Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea from tidal flood risk as the defence function of the dunes reduces. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 4.4 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ1B – Holme dunes The policy for this frontage is to maintain the flood defence function of the dunes through minimum intervention. It has been assumed that, where there are no defences now, there will be no need to maintain the dunes in the future. This is an uncertainty and intervention may be needed at some point. However, this cannot be calculated so it has been excluded from the economic viability test. The possible long-term realignment in PDZ1C (Thornham sea bank) is likely to support the dunes. Where there are ‘soft dragon tooth’ defences it has been assumed that they are equivalent to groynes for the purpose of calculating the cost of maintaining and replacing them. Also, to account for the benefits of the potential realignment and associated increase in tidal prism in PDZ1C reducing pressure on the dunes, the increase in maintenance and replacement costs due to climate change between epochs 2 and 3 has not been included. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 20.0 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ1C – Thornham sea bank The policy for this frontage is to maintain flood defence to the communities of Thornham, Holme-next-the-Sea and Old Hunstanton, including all their houses, historic assets and infrastructure together with potentially increasing the tidal exchange in Thornham harbour channel by realigning Thornham sea bank. So in epochs 1 and 2 the defences will be maintained where they are now, but for epoch 3 there are two possible policy options: either to carry out managed realignment at Thornham sea bank (while continuing to protect Thornham, Holme-next-the-Sea and Old Hunstanton) or to continue to hold the line here.

Page 8: Appendix H Economic appraisal - EACG h - economic appraisal.pdf · North Norfolk SMP2 - H 4 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010 . groynes every 30 years (table

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 6 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

If realignment takes place in epoch 3 the defences at the western edge of the frontage will be partly removed. New defences will be required to protect Thornham, Holme-next-the-Sea and Old Hunstanton. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 3.5. If the current defence line is held through all three epochs the broad-scale assessment reveals an overall benefit-cost ratio of 4.2. The higher benefit-cost ratio for hold the line in this case can be explained by the relatively long length of new defences required to continue to protect properties. It has to be noted that the new defence line will be much less exposed and on higher ground than the existing line. This is not, however, included in the broad-scale assessment, which means that the calculated benefit-cost ratio for managed realignment is a conservative estimate. Given the overall conservatism of the broad-scale assessment, it can be concluded that that both policy options are clearly economically viable. PDZ1D - Thornham The policy for this frontage is no active intervention from epoch 1 onwards. As there are no costs incurred under this policy option an economic assessment is not needed. PDZ2A – Thornham to Titchwell There are currently no defences along this frontage and there is no intention to build new defences in the future. The policy for this frontage is therefore to continue no active intervention for all epochs so an economic assessment is not needed. PDZ2B – Titchwell RSPB reserve The policy for this frontage is to hold the line at the realigned position for all three epochs. So the costs associated with this option are those needed to maintain the new defence line. The decision for this policy has already been made by the RSPB, which is expected to bear the cost of maintaining the defences. It is therefore less important for the SMP to ascertain economic viability for this frontage. The broad-scale economic review has revealed that the only property at risk of tidal flooding along this frontage is the Titchwell RSPB reserve visitor centre. The national property database does not give a value for this property so the analysis assumes there are no economic benefits for the preferred policy. However, there are other benefits that this broad-scale review does not consider such as the tourism value of the reserve and the actual benefit value of this land. Based on the RSPB’s recent decision to realign and keep maintaining the defences for 50 years, the preferred policy can be assumed to be economically viable.

PDZ2C – Titchwell village There are currently no defences along this frontage and there is no intention to build new defences in the future. The policy for this frontage is therefore to continue no active intervention for all epochs so an economic assessment is not needed. PDZ2D – Reclaimed grazing marsh at Brancaster The policy for this frontage is to hold the line in epoch 1. For epochs 2 and 3, the policy is either hold the line or managed realignment, depending on the results of monitoring and assessments. If and when realignment takes place, new defences will be needed to protect properties in Brancaster from flooding from the west through this PDZ. There is currently an embankment that runs north to south protecting properties on Broad Lane that would be maintained and extended to account for sea level rise. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 3.9 if realignment takes place at the start of epoch 2. This is clearly economically viable. The alternative policy of hold the line through all three epochs has a benefit-cost ratio of 0.7 which suggests it is not viable (based on the broad-scale analysis carried out for this SMP). PDZ2E – Royal West Norfolk golf club The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all epochs. The actual scale of future defence maintenance and potential extension is uncertain. It has been assumed that the geotextile bags fronting the dunes east of the clubhouse are equivalent to groynes for the purpose of maintenance and replacement costs and that the current length and type of defences remains sufficient. As for the Titchwell RSPB reserve, the cost of the defences is borne by a private defence owner (the Royal West Norfolk golf club) so it is less important for the SMP to ascertain economic viability for this frontage. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 0.3 so it would be concluded that the preferred policy is not economically viable. However, this is again a conservative assessment based on NPD property value only, which ignores the wider value of the protected features. A more detailed assessment to confirm economic viability for this frontage is not needed, as the actual intent of management is to allow the golf club to hold the line, which they intend to do. PDZ2F – Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe The policy for this frontage is to allow the private defence owners to hold the line for all epochs. This will mean maintaining the existing defences to continue protecting properties in Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe.

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 8 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 1.2 so it can be concluded that the policy is marginally economically viable (given the conservatism of the assessment). PDZ2G – Reclaimed areas behind Scolt Head Island The policy for this frontage is to maintain flood defence to all communities and their houses and infrastructure, together with potentially increasing tidal exchange by realigning the reclaimed Deepdale, Norton and Overy marshes in the long term, if supported by monitoring and research during epochs 1 and 2. So, in epochs 1 and 2, the defences will be maintained where they are now, but for epoch 3 there are two possible policy options: either to carry out managed realignment at Deepdale, Norton and Overy marshes (while continuing to hold the line for the River Burn valley) or to continue to hold the line for all areas. If realignment takes place in epoch 3, defences will be partly removed at Deepdale and Norton marshes and at Overy marshes. New defences will be needed to protect Burnham Deepdale, Burnham Norton, the A149, the River Burn valley and the eastern edge of Burnham Overy Staithe. A new defence line will also be needed between Marsh House Farm and Holkham dunes to protect features in the tidal flood zone that extends eastwards to Wells-next-the-Sea. The broad-scale economic review has given an overall benefit-cost ratio of 1.3, which is marginally viable. However, this varies considerably between the individual flood compartments. For Deepdale and Norton marsh alone the benefit-cost ratio is 0.3, for the River Burn valley it is 5.7 and for Overy marshes it is 2.1. If the current defence line is held through all three epochs the broad-scale assessment reveals an overall benefit-cost ratio of 0.8, with individual benefit-cost ratios of 0.2 for Deepdale and Norton marshes, 5.7 for the River Burn valley and 2.1 for Overy marshes. This would not be viable, although more detailed assessment is needed to confirm the accuracy of the broad-scale assessment. PDZ2H – Burnham Overy Staithe The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all three epochs. This will mean maintaining the existing defences that currently protect properties in Burnham Overy Staithe. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 0.7, which suggests it is not viable (based on the broad-scale analysis carried out for this SMP). PDZ2I – Holkham dunes The policy for this frontage is to maintain the flood defence function of the dunes through minimum intervention. Where there are currently defences at the eastern end of the frontage, it has been assumed that these will be maintained and replaced as with any other defence. The remainder of the

Page 11: Appendix H Economic appraisal - EACG h - economic appraisal.pdf · North Norfolk SMP2 - H 4 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010 . groynes every 30 years (table

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 9 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

frontage has no defences at present and the actual level of maintenance that will be needed is uncertain. The following maintenance schedule has been assumed to maintain the flood defence function of the dunes. In epoch 1 no maintenance will be needed. In epoch 2 the minimum maintenance level of one kilometre of defence will be needed (linear or groynes) and this will continue into epoch 3. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 4.8 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ2J – Wells flood embankment The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all three epochs. This will mean maintaining the 1.08 kilometre-long embankment that currently protects numerous features in the tidal flood zone that extends westwards to Burnham Overy Staithe. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 2.4. Given the conservatism of the assessment, it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ2K – Wells quay The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all three epochs. This will mean maintaining the 0.78 kilometres of defences that currently protect properties in Wells-next-the-Sea. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 3.3 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ2L – Wells east bank The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all three epochs. This will mean maintaining the existing defences to continue protecting properties in Wells-next-the-Sea and the A149. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 5.2, so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ2M – Stiffkey bay There are currently no defences along this frontage and there is no intention to build new defences in the future. The policy for this frontage is therefore to continue no active intervention for all epochs so an economic assessment is not needed. PDZ3A – Reclaimed areas behind Blakeney Spit The policy for this frontage is to maintain flood defence to all houses and infrastructure, together with gradually increasing tidal exchange by realigning the reclaimed areas at Blakeney Freshes in the medium term and, if confirmed during epochs 1 and 2, at Cley marshes in the long term. In epoch 1 the defences will be maintained where they are now. This means there are

Page 12: Appendix H Economic appraisal - EACG h - economic appraisal.pdf · North Norfolk SMP2 - H 4 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010 . groynes every 30 years (table

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 10 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

two options in epoch 3: either to continue holding the line at Cley west bank or to realign. In epoch 2, defences at Blakeney Freshes marshes will be partly removed close to Blakeney to improve navigation to the harbour and moorings. This will mean building new defences to protect some properties in Blakeney. If the epoch 3 realignment at Cley marshes is confirmed, defences on the western margin of Cley marshes will be partly removed. This will need a new defence line to protect the A149 and the flood zone behind the Cley to Salthouse shingle ridge to the east. The broad-scale economic review has given an overall benefit-cost ratio of 1.9 So it can be concluded that, as a whole, a preferred policy that includes realignment is at least marginally economically viable. However, there is a significant difference between the intended sites of realignment and the two river valleys when they are considered separately. The Stiffkey and Glaven (including Cley) valleys and Morston (which remains defended) have individual benefit-cost ratios of 3.1, 10.0 and 0.8 respectively. However, the realignments at Blakeney Freshes and Cley marshes have individual benefit-cost ratios of 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. For the Cley realignment there are considerable non property-related benefits (such as the A149), so this is likely to be economically viable on its own. For Blakeney Freshes, the economic benefits for navigation, which are an important driver, are not included in the assessment. If the epoch 3 realignment at Cley marshes does not take place, the broad-scale economic review reveals identical benefit cost ratios for all PDZs apart from Cley marshes. This would have a benefit cost ratio of 0.6, which is slightly better than the realignment option, but still suggests it is not viable. The overall benefit cost ratio would be 2.2 which is clearly economically viable. PDZ3C - Blakeney The policy for this frontage is to hold the line for all three epochs. This will mean maintaining the whole length of defences that currently protect properties in Blakeney. The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 2.0 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. PDZ3D – Cley to Salthouse The policy for this frontage is to maintain the flood defence function of the shingle ridge through minimum intervention. To achieve this, the following maintenance schedule has been assumed. In epoch 1 there will be no need for maintenance as current processes suggest that the flood defence function will not be under threat. In epoch 2, minimum annual maintenance will be needed once every 10 years and there will be no increase in this cost in epoch 3 due to climate change.

North Norfolk SMP2 - H 11 - Appendix H – Economic appraisal Final plan October 2010

The broad-scale economic review has given a benefit-cost ratio of 9.6 so it can be concluded that the policy is clearly economically viable. Analysis of super-frontages The main SMP document reports about the economic viability at the level of the super-frontages only. For super-frontage 1, the total economic benefits of the policy are estimated to exceed the costs, although not by a wide margin: the plan is marginally viable. The overall benefit-cost ratio is 1.9 if there is no realignment at Thornham sea bank and 1.8 if managed realignment takes place. As explained in the analysis of PDZ1C, the calculated benefit-cost ratio for the managed realignment option is particularly conservative. For super-frontage 2, the total economic benefits of the policy are estimated to be in the same order as the costs if the existing defence lines are held throughout. If the defences are realigned, the benefits are estimated to exceed the costs, although only by a very small margin. The overall benefit-cost ratio is 1.2 with realignments and 0.9 without the realignments. Holding the line has a lower benefit-cost ratio because it would involve continued maintenance (including rebuilding) of long lengths of defences, while the timing of the realignments (largely in epoch 3) coincides with the assumed timescale for rebuilding the existing defences. For super-frontage 3, the total economic benefits of the policy are estimated to exceed the costs, although not by a wide margin: the plan is marginally viable. This is the case for both policy options at Cley west bank (hold the line or managed realignment in epoch 3). The overall benefit-cost ratio is 1.9 if the realignment at Cley bank takes place, while it is 2.1 if the line is held there. This is because of the assumption that Cley east bank would be upgraded to act as a flood defence, in addition to new defences for Cley. Further supporting information for the analysis at super-frontage level is in tables H2, H4 and H6.
